Polar Air Cargo, a subsidiary brand of Atlas Air Worldwide, has provided cargo lift for DHL for years. Several 747-400F freighters have been operating for some time in hybrid Polar/DHL colors. It was only fitting that one of the 747-8F freighters Atlas had on order would join the Polar/DHL operation. N853GT was delivered in December 2012.

After some contractual maneuvering with Boeing, including the refusal of delivery of some early aircraft, Atlas Air finally took delivery of its first 747-8F Freighter in June 2012. The aircraft was delivered in the colors of and is operated on behalf of one of Atlas' long-time contract customers, Panalpina. A second aircraft wearing these colors followed later in the year. This decal provides the markings for both aircraft. Our decal has been updated to include double-struck opaque white ink for the tail logo.

IAs the launch customer for the 747, it was only natural that Pan American World Airways would be the launch customer for the latest updated variant of the Queen of the Skies, the 747-8i Intercontinental. Continuing the process of fleet modernization, Pan Am placed an initial order for 11 of the Jumbo Jets. The aircraft were delivered in Pan Amﾒs iconic "Billboard" color scheme. This set includes the following Clipper names: Juan T. Trippe, Intercontinental, Joe Sutter, Queen of the Skies, Pride of the Ocean, Cadillac, Nautilus, Belle of the Skies, Belle of the Union, America, Sovereign of the Seas.

Although the Boeing 747 is no longer the airline’s flagship, Lufthansa German Airlines continues its 40+ year relationship with the Jumbo from Seattle with the latest variant - the 747-8 Intercontinental. This decal provides the markings and ship names for Lufthansa’s fleet of these ultimate Whales.

In 2013, Saudia Airlines (having switched back to the name Saudia from Saudi Arabian) took delivery of the first of the two new 747-8F’s it had ordered. The aircraft feature Saudia’s revised color scheme - the main differences being the new name and a simplified tail logo. This decal provides the markings for both aircraft in the fleet.

Korean Air has a long history with the Boeing 747, having operated the type since 1978. As one of the largest operators of 747 freighters, it was only natural that Korean would order Boeing’s newest version of the venerable whale, the 747-8. Korean Air is the first, and so far only airline to order both the passenger 747-8I and cargo 747-8F. This decal provides the markings for the 747-8F Freighter in Korean Air colors.

In January 2014, Boeing showed its support for the hometown Seattle Seahawks trip to the American football championship game by painting N770BA in Spirit of 12s colors. This is a tip of the hat to the “12th Man” - the fans of the Seahawks that root for them in the stadium at each home game. The aircraft is a frame that was refused by Atlas Air and is now used by Boeing as a test/development aircraft. This decal is complete and ready to use on the excellent push-fit Hogan 747-8F.

Polar Air Cargo, a subsidiary brand of Atlas Air Worldwide, has provided cargo lift for DHL for years. Several 747-400F freighters have been operating for some time in hybrid Polar/DHL colors. It was only fitting that one of the 747-8F freighters Atlas had on order would join the Polar/DHL operation. N853GT was delivered in December 2012.

Atlas Air Cargo was one of the first customers for the Boeing 747-8F Freighter with an order for 12 of the type. Initial delays and performance shortfalls resulted in Atlas cancelling delivery of the first three airframes of the order. Subsequent aircraft have been delivered to the airline. Currently, three aircraft wear Atlas colors, and this decal provides the markings for these aircraft. Use this set with the Hogan push-fit 747-8F kit. This decal has been updated to include double-struck opaque white ink beneath the tail logo.

Nippon Cargo, founded in 1978, has the distinction of being Japan’s first all-cargo airline. The company has only operated Boeing 747 Freighters, and fittingly, was the launch customer for the Boeing 747-8F. NCA deferred delivery of the aircraft in its 747-8F order, so the title of launch customer was transferred to Cathay Pacific. The airline has since taken delivery of 5 of Boeing’s newest freighter.
